Twitter parts ways with its chief communications officer

Gabriel Stricker was let go as the social-media giant shakes up its business strategy and looks to "show the world" its value.

It’s now been a little over a month since the platform’s CEO, Dick Costolo, resigned from the job amid falling stocks and agitated shareholders. This week, the San Francisco-based social-media platform confirmed it’s also parted ways with its chief communications officer, Gabriel Stricker (pictured).

Twitter issued a statement on Stricker’s departure, highlighting a need to “show the world” the value of the company.

“Communications is a key component of that, and to help build toward a stronger future, we are looking now to shift our communications strategy and direction,” the statement reads.

The company is now on the hunt for new leadership, and thanked Stricker “for his contributions.”
